My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 197
There is never a shortage of brothels no matter where they are, and the prostitutes in the brothels are not always resident. If there is no business here, the old bustard will introduce the place to exchange with the daughters of the brothels in other places, and also provide the local guests for a change.

As the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Yanjing has always been in a peaceful and prosperous state, except for the turmoil when the king came to the capital last year. The dignitaries and gentry in the capital like to come here to play with girls, and the prostitutes in the building change. A batch was made and the news spread quickly.

This is not the first time Guo Jia has come to this worldly brothel. It has an almost uniform style. Festive lanterns are hung under the eaves. The hall door is wide open. There is a red carpet at the entrance, which extends from the door to the luxurious hall. The hunched turtle slaves came and went to greet the guests, while the prostitutes who had no patrons leaned on the wooden railing on the second floor and softly called to the passing guests below, or sang erotic songs.

In the building, there are many literati and elegant guests talking softly, or drinking and writing lyrics. There are also businessmen who have made some money here to have fun together. They rudely hold the girl in their arms and sit on their laps to drink and laugh. When they are more provocative, they hold the girl's hand. Went to the room.

"Hey, this guest officer is new to me. Is it your first time to come to Hongluan Tower?"

The fat bustard, who was smeared with pink and white, waved a cattail leaf fan and swung his hips and walked over quickly. When he saw the clothes of the two guards following Guo Jia, he knew that his identity must be extraordinary.

"Dear guest, do you want to try something new, or do you want a tender girl?"

The madam made teasing words and waved her fan. In a moment, more than ten beautiful women gathered over and stood in a row.

"Dear guests, take a look, each of them has a good figure and good looks..."

"I heard that a group of southern girls came here."

When it comes to women, Guo Jia has a frivolous and frivolous temperament. He glanced at the row of women in front of him and found that they probably didn't have any taste for them. He went straight to a nearby table and sat down, pouring some wine and tasting it.

"Your distinguished guests are really well-informed. I have indeed come here with a group of girls from the south." The old madam wanted to refuse. After all, new girls would give priority to the dignitaries who often come to have a taste. Revealing half of the token and seeing the words on it, the old face suddenly smiled and the powder fell down.

She quickly called a turtle slave over, "Take this gentleman to the love room on the third floor."

The hustle and bustle gradually faded away below. The turtle slave who led the way pushed open the love-character room prepared on the third floor, retreated to the door, and bowed to invite Guo Jia in.

The two masters from the Embroidery Department looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, then stood guard at the door.

The lights in the room are bright and warm, and the furnishings inside are elegant. Guo Jia is sitting on the mat, listening to the sound of long strings with his eyes closed. One person is wearing a sleeveless short jacket, a long white skirt, and thin purple gauze on his shoulders. His delicate skin can be seen. white.

Her pretty face was lightly painted with pink and white, her lips were curved and her eyebrows were drawn, and her eyes were full of spring. She gently plucked the strings of the piano and glanced at Guo Jia from time to time.

"It's rare to see a southern woman in the North."

Guo Jia picked up the wine and sipped it, closed his eyes and listened to the music for a while. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he asked softly: "I wonder what I call the girl?"

"Sir, you can call me Qin Zhen."

It was just a song. The woman named Qin Zhen pressed the trembling strings, lifted her long skirt slightly, and sat down next to Guo Jia. Her slender jade fingers touched Guo Jia's back and slowly moved up. Her voice was waxy, Her red lips murmured softly, "The slave family is originally a prostitute, not a prostitute... But when I see the gentleman's elegance, my heart is like a deer."

The woman reached out and took the wine bottle at her hand, looking at Guo Jia with seductive eyes, "Sir... just stay here tonight."

"Stay? That's not possible...it's noisy here, which affects your mood."

Guo Jia smiled, stretched out his hand to hold down the tilted wine bottle, and frivolously touched Qin Zhen's chin with his fingers: "But can the beauty come out of the building to my house? Instead of wandering around, it is better to settle down in the house from now on." , don’t be like a rootless duck.”

"This..." Qin Zhen was a little embarrassed, put down the wine bottle with a slightly blushing face, and slowly touched the back of Guo Jia's neck with her fingertips.

Before she could speak, Guo Jia suddenly kissed her on the lips, stood up, opened the door, and asked the guards at the door to find the madam, and said: "I will dress Qin Zhen up later and send it to my house. It’s the building next to Prince Xia’s Mansion.”

Being able to live next to Prince Xia's Mansion, this status made the Madam almost jump up in excitement. If she can recruit the gentleman in front of her as her backer, she will be the leader in this industry in Yanjing City from now on.

"Sir, if you want Qin Zhen, it's not easy. She goes to the north alone, without any relatives. Having such a noble man as your husband is a blessing she gained in her previous life."

Guo Jia turned around and smiled at the woman in the room, and asked the embroidery department to close the door of her room. He went downstairs with the madam with his hands behind his back, "Just tell me a number. When they deliver it, come to my house to get the money." .”

"Sir is a great nobleman, how can I ask for your money? Qin Zhen will be sent to your residence together with the deed of sale later." The old madam followed behind with a smile, "In the future, if you are free, I will come over often... If King Xia is free, he might as well take over Xia..."

"Ok?"

Guo Jia turned around and glared at her, and the madam quickly slapped her fat lips twice, "Zhang Zui! Palm Zui! Haha..."

"Okay, that's it. Send the person over later!"

"Sir go slow!"

The Madam and the Turtle Slave escorted the other party to the door. After the other party's back was no longer visible, they returned excitedly to the building.

...in the palace.

The long incense was inserted in the incense burner, half burned, and green smoke floated in the air.

There was rarely any quarrel among the spiritual figures above, but they were all trying to dissuade Su Chen from appointing an emperor.

"... Immortal, that would be unfair."

"We also think it's unfair. You see, Li Er has the opportunity to run outside and be happy. There are so many emperors here. If they all designate, then it will be their turn in any year."

"For the sake of fairness, we still draw lots. If luck doesn't come our way, there will be no complaints."

"Why bother with naval battles? We haven't even figured out the land yet."

"Your majesties, I think Changsheng is right. Sea power cannot be given away, otherwise the coast will be in danger. Changsheng, I have a token here that can fight sea battles. I am just a eunuch. As long as you choose me, I will give it to you first. !”

"Fourth brother, are you going to act opposite your father?"

"Dad... at least let one of our family come out first... what if I throw the dice but I can't draw you?"

"Bitch!!"

Su Chen listened to the words of the spirit tablet above, and was also calculating the merits in his hand. If he drew it immediately, he would need 10,000 at the moment, and the designated number would be [-]+. He didn't have enough in his hand.

"Longevity."

Li Shimin floated out of the spiritual throne and landed next to Su Chen. He clasped his hands and looked at the swaying spiritual tablets above him, arguing with each other, "In a naval battle, generals are only one aspect. On the other hand, you still have to look at the spiritual tablets. You have warships and soldiers in your hands. It is better to accumulate merits for the time being and wait until the warships and soldiers are almost fully trained before using them."

"Li Er, you are causing trouble again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious that his body jumped up, and he stumbled down, bumping and sliding along the stepped tribute table, and finally landed on the ground with a thud.

Taoist Li picked it up, wrapped a bandage around it, and put it back again.

Among the spiritual tablets, the spiritual tablets wrapped in a circle and bouncing around were particularly conspicuous, causing the tablets of other emperors around him to jump over and surround him, making everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, the long incense was almost burned out.

Su Chen listened to Li Shimin's advice. When the incense burned out, he stood up and bowed his hands, then turned and left. Taoist Li over there looked at the motionless coffin above, sighed, put up a stool, and walked one by one. Set them straight.

Outside, the waiting maid saw the figure coming out and hurriedly came forward to pay her respects: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked your Majesty if he has come to Taining Palace."

"I won't go today. I'll be tired from the long journey."

Su Chen had no intention of guessing what Jiang Wan meant by inviting him over. He sent away the palace maid, took the shield and halberd warriors with him, and took the king's carriage out of the palace to return to the mansion.

It was almost dusk when he came back. Fang Xuejun's face was red and stained with sweat. When he heard the announcement from the gate that Su Chen was returning to the house, he hurriedly ran out.

He held Su Chen's arm carelessly.

"Prince Xia's Mansion is so big... it's dozens of times bigger than the Fang Family... In the afternoon, Senior Sister Li and I walked around everywhere, but we haven't finished yet."

"We're not done yet. We'll leave again tomorrow."

Su Chen patted her head and walked through the carved green corridor. People from the embroidery department of the mansion were coming to pay their respects, "Your Majesty, the red-haired barbarian has been brought to the atrium side room."

"I'll go there soon. By the way, can Guo Jijiu come back?"

"He's back, but I heard that he recruited a prostitute from the south from Hongluanlou to his house."

Su Chen frowned slightly. He had known Guo Jia for so long, but he had never heard that he brought a prostitute from a brothel home. When he took two steps, he suddenly stopped.

The corners of the lips curled up slightly.

"What a genius..."
